What is the best controller on the market and why is it this?Price notwithstanding.

That's a controller for billionaires, m8
>>321402384
Why the fuck is it 150 $?
I could understand maybe 100, but for the price they are asking I could get 4 regular ones.
It's half the price of the console
I'm not a codfag. How much do those modded controllers cost that all the kiddies need to have for tournaments in that and halo? I imagine it's around the same price
>>321402384
Still computer noobish so pardon my stupid question, but can there be drivers for Windows7/8.1? Or is it only locked at Windows 10 with no chance of third party support?
Who /360controllersince2007/ here?
>>321402384
The buttons in the back and the d-pad makes it all worth it
>>321402384
>360 controller has a shit dpad
>xbone supposedly fixes it
>the elite controller has a shit dpad again
serious though what's the best gamepad for PC right now? My old 360 pad has loose thumbsticks after 6 years
>>321404702
Dualshock 3 for general purpose

I still use my launch 360 controller with no problems for almost everything, but I picked up a Buffalo Classic for Christmas. Awesome little thing

You can switch out the xbone elite's dpad.
>>321402384
>What is the best controller on the market and why is it this?
that's not the steam controller
>>321402384
If no expense or sense is spared, anything can be made "the best", it just needs to released in the right market at the right time.
In the late 90's to early 00's Sony once tried to make a line of super-elite products that would be the defacto best in their product category and would simply be called Qualia. Problem was, Sony as a brand was on a decline, and the world just wasn't really for luxury products since there was a lot of political turmoil going on.
With that said, gamers have no problem dropping $60 on a mouse and $80 on a keyboard these days, so $150 for a high-end input device isn't especially outrageous.
>>321404702
You do realize the Elite controller ships with the original d-pad in addition to the radar dish, right?
>>321404702
DS3 is the best one. Works for most genres.
I hope Sony realizes a DS4 with not-shit d-pad for SFV's launch.
wii u pro controller is the best controller currently
>>321405938
>Console
>High-end
No.
What does it do that my 360 controller doesn't?
Baring in mind the £20 price tag on my current controller.
$150 = £90
for £90 (assuming 360 controllers are still the same price)
I could buy 1 controller, have my dick sucked by a fleshlite AND STILL have change left over.
Can a 720 controller suck my dick?

>With that said, gamers have no problem dropping $60 on a mouse and $80 on a keyboard these days, so $150 for a high-end input device isn't especially outrageous.
But you use your keyboard and mouse all the time, that much money for a controller is ridiculous
>>321407003
Modified throws on triggers, four paddle buttons where your fingertips rest, customizable keybinds (not fully sure how this works on Windows)
>>321404442
You can get keyboard and mouse translators for both of the fresh consoles.
The XIM4 is $125
The Cronus is like $60

The Titan One is the one you should get. The CronusMAX is Chinese piracy, and the original Cronus is obsolete.
>>321405210
They're okay, probably the best non-official, non-hori controller on the market, though that isn't saying much
I'd still recommend biting the bullet for a DS4 controller though

The controller probably costs $10 to make, max. Also, it in no manner is the best product, especially not if including translators for mouse and keyboard on consoles.. or controllers that are modded to be the exact same but cheaper -- even with trackballs.
>>321408017
Ehh.
>>321408373
The Titan One developer is the designer and software dev of the original Cronus. He got fucked over by his business partners, who continue to pirate his software updates for the CronusMax.

>>321402384
it feels cheap
I got an elite controller for my birthday. I like it a lot, but I wouldn't spend 150 dollars on it, surely. It's got a nice weight to ti.
>>321408196
What are actually the pro/con of ds3 vs ds4?
My ds3 broke and I've never used a ds4. I would like to get one of them to use as my primary pc controller.
>>321408782
How much do you think it costs to get an injunction and win a lawsuit?
>>321409073
Suing costs nothing if you win, IIRC
A decent lawyer would do it initially for free if there's a decent case and just take a percentage
>>321408998
DS3 - better for platformers, fighting games
DS4 -better for shootan
Since you play shootan with keyboard anyways, DS3 is the better PC controller. Also, way better built. DS4 is some low-quality shit.
>>321402384
The grippy material is probably the most uncomfortable I've ever held in my life. The skin on your fingers start to tingle after a little while because of the awkward sensation of the pattern. It's pretty awful.
>>321409073
Besides, you the purchaser can easily tell which one is genuine by the software updates. Titan One has a superset of all the others' features, and has more frequent updates with more recent software versions.
>>321409204
>DS4 -better for shootan
>>321409572
Than DS3? It is. The DS4 grip is intended for shootan. The DS3 grip isn't.
Best PS2 controller in the market right now? Is it even possible to buy a Sony PS2 controller new anymore? I feel like If I try to get one on Amazon I'll end up just paying $30+ for Chinese aftermarket shit that feels awful to use and breaks in a month.

>>321402384
That d-pad makes me want to cry
>>321409635
>The DS4 grip is intended for shootan.
The keyboard and mouse is intended for data entry and GUI interaction, doesn't stop it from being the actual best controller for FPS. You're talking through your ass, or your have manlet hands.
It's the mechanical keyboard equivalent for console plebsand that's not a bad thing.
MKB for everything, Steam Controller for everything I want to play from a distance and HOTAS setup for space/flight sims.
>>321404702
>elite controller has shit d-pad
Its good and the disk is magnetic so you can take it off and still have the standard 4 way d-pad you're used too.
I mean, I agree that it's overpriced as fuck, but they actually built it well. My friend got one with his elite xbone and its nice. Those back buttons are also magnetic and come off, which is great cause if you're not used to them you're going to be accidentally pressing them all the fucking time.
>>321404702
I must repost how that I can swap out that control disc everytime you talk up this shitstorm in a teacup.
>>321404702
hey stupid you can replace the elites dpad with the original stop being retarded or ill shank ya
>>321413587
That's nice, but can you swap the stick and D-Pad back to their proper positions?
>>321413587
So what's the disk designed for?
>>321414819
I use it for mousing purposes. I don't know how people actually use it on a console, cause I don't own the xbone.
>>321414762
You should ask if Sony will make an Elite Controller instead. I'd like that.
>>321414762
But they already are in their proper positions you nigger
>>321415021
Unless my eyes deceive me, the stick is at the top and the directional pad is at the bottom.
>>321415175
Exactly
>>321402384
I'm getting a DS4 with 4 buttons on the back instead of that awkward paddle shit, xbox stick replacements, and rear trigger bumpers.
http://battlebeavercustoms.com/
also trying out a PS Move + Mouse for PC.
Is there any PC compatible controller with better analogue sticks than the 360 pad? I'm not saying the 360 pad is amazing or anything, mine just broke and I need a new one for Rocket League, something durable.
>>321404778
>Fighting Commander
got one of those today. Seems pretty damn good.
>>321416038
I'd rather not have a custom controller route, because you don't get all the sensitivity slider options and onboard profile that you do with the Elite controller that way. Yes, scuf and your link for that custom exists, but a custom controller is stuck with what a stock controller has to work with integration wise.
>ITT: Poor Fags
I am actually kind of fed up that Sony wouldn't fully realize the potentials of DS4 and completely open it up for us PCucks. I would like to have the bluetooth audio streaming fully enabled because it's a decent feature. I got a wireless dongle with that elite controller because of my first world preference of convenience, and I doubt I am the only one who would pay the premium for the convenience factor.
And when the fuck will Sony get a move on and make a premium DS4 equal to the Elite already?
>>321416650
I know, right?
>>321416650
>spending $150 on a console with no games
lmao
All b8 aside, the elite controller is the best controller I've ever used. If you have the money and need a new controller you might as well get it.
>>321416971
>you can only use the Xbone controller with the Xbone

G700 is so good. Everything feels so cheap in comparison after using it. I took the chance and went with a G502 for my current mouse. Took a while getting used to, but it's pretty good. I hope they've made a new generation of G700 by the time I've worn it out.
>>321417806
Same. G700 does have a few issues though.
1. The cord. I can't live with the stock cord.
2. The battery life. Single battery doesn't cut it.
3. Omron switch does get worn out in a few years, especially left click. I had to take the mouse apart to replace the switch spring a month ago.
What's the difference between the regular XBONE controller and the XBONE Elite controller?
>>321417806
When my G700 broke I didn't know where to look. Settled for the MX Master and the quality is amazing. It hasn't got all the side buttons but it's just so nice to use.
>>321418048
Twice the weight, much better build quailty, paddles on the back, hair trigger switches, and a bunch of other things
>>321418061
But the MX master is not exactly a replacement for the G700. I thought about it before. You can't store profiles onboard with the MX master for one.
>>321418272
Here's what's available for that controller on the PC app:
Sensitivity settings, rumble adjustment, 2 onboard profiles, button remapping, deadzone customization, game-specific profile.
>>321418419
Is it worth it to get the Elite Controller instead of the regular one? I don't really give a shit about price.
>gifted a Steam Controller
>constant vibrating (and clicking sound) when using the right pad
>Can't get third person camera controls to play nice
>keep reaching for a Phantom Right Stick
This is hell
>>321418547
It's the best 360 controller, bar none. It's the best at doing whatever that the 360 controller does.
>>321418643
You have to tweak it. I don't use it where you would use a normal controller, be it DS4 or Xbone. I for one would Nep on DS4 or the Elite, but not with the Steam controller.
>>321418682
Yeah but is it worth getting the XBONE Elite instead of XBONE Regular?
>>321418947
It's good. If you factor the price out of the equation, then go for it. If you don't factor that out, then I would hesitate to call it 3x as good as the normal xbone controller.
You may want to wait for a Lunar White Elite to come out. Supplies are damn short for the elite right now, and I think MS will release limited elite such as that in 2016.
>>321418024
Cord wasn't great, but I made it work. I stopped using wireless at some point so the battery didn't bother me much.
My personal issues were mostly that the "feet" got worn out and was kinda expensive to replace (shipping costs mostly), and one of my G700s lost two side buttons, but I just retired it for laptop use at that point.
My biggest annoyance was probably that the metal part on the scroll wheel started getting a bit rusty after using it for a long time.
Finally, as with many Logitech mice, it started double clicking by itself, which prompted me to replace it.
Over the years, I've had several replacement mice sent to me free of charge from Logitech, without proving my old one was broken (they were).
>>321418643
>>constant vibrating (and clicking sound) when using the right pad
How about toning down the haptics?
Actually how about fucking configuring it, you retard?
>>321419180
Yes, the hyperscroll wheel does rust. You have to be rather diligent in cleaning it to keep it pristine. And the double clicking bug comes from omron switch burning out. I didn't go the RMA route that you have, and just took it apart while I replace the feet to get the spring replaced.
(I hate the gayman inspired look of the G700S, you see)
>>321419396
I don't mind the look. I may have to go back to it one day, as the G502 has issues of its own. But it's too early to say.
I respekt your opinion bro, but that pad is terrible at fightans and 2D games.
>>321407935
Dont tell you got jewed into buying a stick? Dualshock d-pad is completely enough to Git gud, fucking luffy won evo with a pad
>>321419293
>have to reconfigure the haptics for every game
>>321418947
>>321419151
It's really not worth it. The Razer Sabertooth is the same idea with more functionality and less than half the price.
>>321422074
I don't totally agree with you in the sense that Sabertooth lacks wireless support, but the price that it goes for nowadays ($80 or so) isn't so bad. You don't get to switch sticks, but $80 isn't all too much.
(yes, it's a 360 controller, not xbone)
The other problem with Razer that I have is that their durability leave me with some doubt.
>>321422037

>wooooooow how could I have known you can configure it?????
>>321402384

top fucking hue, that ain't the DS2/3 controller
>>321414992
How good is the steam controller?
>>321404702
the steam controller is pretty nifty
i have xbox 360 controller for everything and fighting commander 4 for games that need a dpad that isn't shit
>>321425958
I like it. again, I don't use it in games that use 360 or Dualshock.
>>321427370
then you use it as a mouse replacement? that's dumb as shit
>>321427651
Dumb as shit? Well yes and no. It doesn't work out if I have access to a mouse, but if I am sitting some 4' away, then it's a no brainer.
It's not that it couldn't be a 360 controller. Far from it. I just rather use the Elite due to how it feels in my hands. I hate Valve for making the Gabencontroller feel dirt cheap.
>>321402384
Well personally I felt the Bone controller's fundamentals were inferior to both the DS4 and 360, so I don't see how making it out of better parts would fix that
Shit's the smallest feeling controller right now, the buttons are too clicky, the sticks offer too little feedback, and the overall shape is too blocky and jagged to be comfortable for long periods
My perfect controller would be a DS4 with more concave plastic sticks and Bone triggers
